tfmpillow Posted October 21, 2019 Share Posted October 21, 2019 Basically that all is for one thing: Icey and snowy roads. People liked the wintermod last year, where you could slide around all the time. That is what people like about Iceland. tfmpillow | Retired Team Member Rules | Recruitment | Support | Feedback | Meet the Team | Guides | Suggestions Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
andy Suter Posted October 21, 2019 Share Posted October 21, 2019 I think it’s a few things. Its snowy and people like snow. Its different from what weve been doing so far The scenery is quite nice The most influential reason. – Because everyone else is going there…… It could be the dullest place in the map but if that’s where others head, you can guarantee the lemmings will follow Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blue4eva Posted October 21, 2019 Share Posted October 21, 2019 Maybe the majority of players had never downloaded Promods before and its simply a new area to explore. I've actually seen comments asking ' what is promods ' ? I play the game in a way that I try and drive down roads that I haven't drove down before; I will re-route the GPS to explore roads I haven't been before.

Supreme Posted October 21, 2019 Share Posted October 21, 2019 I think there are a few reasons why it is very populated in Iceland. Mainly the Snow and icy roads, people love the challenge of trying to keep control of their vehicle. Another one of the main reasons is the beautiful scenery and tight, windy roads. Who doesn't like a challenge? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Fr0zR.- Posted October 21, 2019 Share Posted October 21, 2019 That zone is basically another world, is too different in many ways to the basic or standard game. It's like when a new DLC is out, all people want to explore the new roads Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
[KızılTürk] YunusD Posted October 21, 2019 Share Posted October 21, 2019 Very Narrow Roads Are Available and a lot of players want to go these ways so it's crowded YunusD KızılTürk™ VTC Owner ~ YunusD Yotube ~ , ~ YunusD Steam ~ , ~ World Of Trucks ~ , ~ KızılTürk™ VTC ~ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Space Night Posted October 21, 2019 Share Posted October 21, 2019 in short it is STUNNING! I regularly take single player jobs there. (in fact I have just done TelAviv (middle east add on) to Blondus (or however you spell it) in Iceland - 4400km) The bad areas are the central roads which go up the rift valley of Iceland to Arkeuri, this road requires EXTREME caution, I do not recommend that you take a double or heavy load there as its steep, slippery and low ground clearance of some trailers will cause issues. Stick to the A1 ring road around the island, you will have a good drive however people seem to think its a race track like the CD road, (until they find the white stuff has slippy physics and so end up facing their own trailer) A few tips. 1/ do not try to pass on bends, single file only, take turns to round the bends as your trailers cut in. 2/ if you are in a line of traffic, leave 2 truck lengths to the guy in front, 3/ at the water crossings in Iceland, let the player in front clear before making your crossing. 4/ when at the top of a hill, if there are a lot of players coming up, wait at a safe place for them to pass before coming down. If you are at the bottom and there is a line coming down, wait at a safe place before starting your climb. If behind heavy load, wait for it to clear the hill first, if the player spins out or stalls, they may need to roll back down the hill to take a second attempt. 5/ uphill has RIGHT OF WAY Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rico Posted October 22, 2019 Share Posted October 22, 2019 People like complexity and Iceland is a very good example of it due to its roads, as it has many potential challenges going up and down those roads. There are many roads which are tight and for one lane, hence they get very popular as people have to give priority and such, so traffic jams form so people are attracted to this, at the end of the day it can be a bit of fun aswell. But people like to set themselves challenges:) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jas. Posted October 23, 2019 Share Posted October 23, 2019 Iceland is visually stunning and can deliver a very euphoric feeling when taking in it's scenery. From the tight uphill curves, the coastal roads, the long stretch of snowy land, to the downhill decline as you take on the icy conditions... simply gorgeous. Just one of the many treasures that can be found on this wonderful mod. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dragonslayingmaster1000 Posted October 25, 2019 Share Posted October 25, 2019 People like it because it offers a unique gameplay experience that you can't find in vanilla ets2. There's tight roads, slippery roads, tons of windy roads. It's really fun to drive there. Also off topic but the kirkenes quarry is also congested for the exact same reasons (minus slippery roads of course). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Community Manager Purrie Posted October 25, 2019 Community Manager Share Posted October 25, 2019 Main reason I like Iceland is for the stunning scenery, 2nd some of the roads are a bit more challenging. Groet / Sincerly, Pascal (Purrie) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lorciaa Posted October 25, 2019 Share Posted October 25, 2019 Probably someone just found it on ProMods while playing on singleplayer, then just show it somewhere, more people saw that and when ProMods was released on MP, people just wanted to drive at this place with other people. And like Pillow said, people love wintermod with noncollision, there they have it all the time and don't need to wait for original wintermod or can drive there and wait for true wintermod for TMP.

EHHVTC l WelshJason Posted October 25, 2019 Share Posted October 25, 2019 Iceland is amazing with the Snow and the way the trucks handle but i enjoy just taking my time around the whole map taking in some of the breath taking landscapes the ProMods team have put into the map Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wibbly Wobbly Posted October 26, 2019 Share Posted October 26, 2019 I like how challenging to drive in iceland with all the slippery and twisty roads. it's less boring. and it's beautiful, i enjoy driving in iceland while pulling 20+ ton! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
The UnderCover Posted October 28, 2019 Share Posted October 28, 2019 People love high risk big reward by going along risky icey roads sliding all over its a fun experience for players to have which is a great thing to have in the game especially when you have a heavy load on it makes it fun Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
